After breakfast, everyone went to work. Those who purchased ingredients for the comprador banquet, those who made snacks, those who borrowed tables and chairs, those who prepared ingredients that needed to be processed in advance, those who went to the fields, those who went up the mountain to hunt prey...

Old Man Dong, who was usually restless, didn't even come out. It was only during lunch that he was scolded by Mrs. Qian.

The old man sat down in front of the table with a red face, coughed slightly with a frown and said: "Eat, eat."

Knowing that he would not be able to live up to his reputation, none of the juniors dared to laugh. They all pretended to have amnesia with sullen faces, pretending that what happened last night never happened.

The Shangguan looked at this and that, and felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He didn't come to the family dinner last night, so he didn't know what happened.

He asked Wulang in a low voice, "Bao'er, why do I feel that everyone is weird? What happened?"

Old Man Dong immediately became alert, straightened his body, and stared at Wulang warningly.

Mrs. Qian and others are also very worried about whether Wulang Xiao will tell the embarrassing things about the parents, then...

Wulang blinked his eyes and said blankly: "What's wrong? Isn't it strange?"

With that cute little look, I don’t know if he is really too crazy to notice it, or if he is just pretending to be stupid.

He gave him a wild vegetable bun and said, "Great-grandfather, eat this, it tastes delicious!"

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "Eating wild vegetable buns is good for your health."

The Shangguan glanced at him and said, "I have lived here for more than a year and lost more than forty pounds. When I go back, they will definitely say that you abused me. I didn't lose weight during the drought years when others ate dirt. As a result,

I’ve lost so much weight since coming here.”

Dong Youliang smiled and said: "You were always young and handsome, but now you look like this, you are twenty years younger, and you are extremely handsome."

Dong Youliang was good at talking, which made Shangguan beam with laughter, "What the hell, when I was young, I was fascinated by many people! Every time I went to the medical clinic, that guy, a young girl, a young wife, an old lady, would line up.

Two streets!

When I rode on the street like this, the older girl and my wife threw flowers, handkerchiefs, and fruits at me. However, the husband of my younger daughter-in-law threw prickly pear balls at me, almost disfiguring me, but Mazha was shocked.

I almost broke my leg."

"Hahaha..." Everyone thought it was funny but didn't take it seriously. They thought the old man was bragging.

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "You are such a millionaire! I asked you how I grew up to be so beautiful and unrivaled in beauty. It turned out that I followed you, my grandfather."

Mrs. Qian snorted coldly, "Your shame is also inherited from your ancestors!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed again.

Shangguan said proudly: "There is no ugly blood in my family, and no matter how good my character is, Li'er is the best. If nothing had happened, he would have been a long time ago..."

Suddenly I felt that I had made a mistake, so I quickly shouted: "Eat! Eat!"

Dongming Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that Li'er's original owner still had an engagement? Huh! Don't be afraid if there is an engagement. They already have a son and a daughter. It's been ten years, so the other party must have gotten married and had children.

Shangguan Ruoli didn't even care about this matter. She had no memory and the original owner's matter had little to do with her.

After two days of intensive preparation, on the third day, the host hosted a banquet for guests.

Rongchuan is here, Gu Lingyun, the county magistrate, Chu Xing, Tan Boxuan, Jiang Hexuan, Jiang Hongda and others from the jade mine are all here. In addition, there are also people from all over the country, scholars, squires, etc. who have heard the news and come to congratulate.

The scene was much more lively than when he was selected as a scholar, and the quality of the people who came had also improved a lot. Jiang Hexuan's attitude towards them was warm and friendly, and he was no longer the arrogant, disdainful and disgusted person he was before.

Dongming Ziyu is Jie Yuan, and he has two real relatives, Shangguan family and Nan'anhou, as well as a close relationship with the prince and two young masters. Dongming Ziyu has a bright future.

The flowing water banquet was set up all day long, and as night fell, the guests gradually dispersed.

It has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the chill at night has gradually become heavier. A scarlet felt curtain was put on the door, which made the atmosphere in the courtyard even more festive.

It wasn't time to light the fire yet, but a charcoal pot was placed in the corner of the room to remove the moisture. They came from the north and couldn't stand the cold and humidity in the south of the Yangtze River.

Everyone sat together and drank warm and delicious tea.

Rong Chuan had the highest status, so he naturally took the first position. He took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said: "In two days, we will set off for the capital. If I arrive early, I can find someone to discuss knowledge with."

Mrs. Qian waved her hand and said to Dongming Ziyu: "You can go your own way. Don't worry about the family affairs."

Old Man Dong also nodded and said: "Go, go, take the exam well."

Dongming Ziyu said: "We will see the situation after the exam. If we stay in the capital, we will take the two elders to the capital. If we go abroad, we will see where we go."

Old Man Dong said: "You should take the exam carefully first and take it one step at a time."

Next, we discussed building an archway and repairing an ancestral hall, and the women all came out. Although the villagers helped to clean up, many things had to be collected and stored by their own families.

Shangguan Ruoli helped put the dishes and chopsticks into the cupboard, sorting them into categories so that they would be easily accessible when needed.

"Fourth younger brother and sister!" A faint voice sounded from behind. Fortunately, Shangguan Ruoli was brave, otherwise he would have been really frightened.

When I looked back, I saw it was Mr. Sun.

Mrs. Sun's neck has healed, but she has always been in a dazed state. She doesn't talk to anyone, and rarely goes out except to go to the toilet. She just lies on the kang.

Today, he came out, spoke, and then knelt down in front of Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at her coldly, "What's the matter? Think about it later!"
